REVIEWS
School Library Journal
"This excellent audiobook will find an eager audience in schools and public libraries which need materials reflecting the Jewish culture or serve children who enjoy family stories such as 'Little Women' and 'Little house on the Prairie.'"

The Providence Journal
"This is a gentle tale of a very different time, and there's value to that. Toren, a theater and TV actress, reads with an attention to accent that helps create characters from the daughters and those who surround them."

Today's Librarian
"The joys of Jewish traditions are interwoven throughout in such a way that all listeners can understand and appreciate them. Children also will learn about life before TV and electronics. Toren lends her beautiful speaking voice to the tales, differentiating the characters in an understated storytelling style."

The Horn Book
"Sydney Taylor's All-of-a-Kind Family books remain a staple with readers who enjoy building long, comfortable relationships with fictional families. Narrator Suzanne Toren's voice is every bit as comfortable as the stories themselves."
